they sell sd card readers.. they sell them in sportsman guide and in staples and im sure.. They are like 9 bucks.. or you can carry a laptop in your car and get a sd card reader.. I just take the card and put it in my cam and get a wire that goes from the camera to the mobil gps system under my sear (pioneer) and view it like watching a movie.

No my camera is like 20 yards from the front door.. so i run out in britches and swap the cards.

I bought a nice Kodak digital camera with a 3" screen for viewing pics in the field. I bought it on e-bay for less than $50.00. It takes great pics as well and it is perfect for what I bought it for.

I bought a cheap Polaroid 5mp digital cam that takes regular SD cards. I can pull the card from the trail cam and view the pics on my camera. Only issue is that I don't have have any way to remove the pics off the SD, so I usually carry an extra 2gb card in the Polaroid to swap out with the one in the game camera.

Have yall seen those websites where you can watch your feeders live from the house? I wonder how much one of those contraptions costs because I could watch that all day everyday. Im sure it costs a pretty penny but I expect to hit the powerball pretty soon!

Here's what you're looking for- http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_94721_425002006_425000000_425002000_425-2-6

It's just a camera linked to satellite. I would hate to own one and have it stolen though :pinch . I can also tell you that years ago the location motoring devices (for protected animals= panthers, bears, etc.) were used linked to satellites, they were notorious for disconnecting during bad weather (simliar to direct TV, dish, etc). They could be better now but I doubt it.

I owned 2 of the wildlife innovations cameras (s2 ?) that I bought from walmart for $50-60 last year. Both of the flashes quit working within 3 weeks of use but I still use one for daylight pictures. I like the older moultrie D40 camera I have and it has been used for year after year without a problem. It does love to drain batteries quickly but it's reliable and that's what I like about it. I plan on buying one of the moultrie I-40s next year, so thanks for the review DONY1.

I'll have to post up on the I40 again after this weekend. One of the guys checked the one that got knocked off a tree by a bear and said it's taking pics like every 2 minutes of nothing. Not sure if it's damaged or just needs to be reset or whatever. The s2's are a little slow for sure cause i parked in front of one last weekend and took my time getting out and it took a pic after I was long gone. I'm thinking of taking them back and trying to get them to let me upgrade to another brand. :rolleyes
